Four Grammy awards, a collaboration with Dolly Parton, a performance on Fox and Friends – it’s all in a day’s work for the epic pop duo Joel and Luke Smallbone, AKA for KING & COUNTRY. Much like fellow Australian Kylie Minogue’s “Can’t Get You Out of My Head”, new release “Relate” does exactly what it says on the tin, providing an accessible and relatable story in song- writing terms, all delivered through a strong vocal performance from both brothers.
Joel and Luke share in a statement: “’Relate’ is really the ongoing search for compassion and empathy amidst our differences. For us, music has always been about the sense of finding community and connection through the universal language of song. We’re brought together in a beautiful way by that lyric or melody regardless of our backgrounds, differences or where we’re from… As the chorus conveys, ‘I don’t know what it’s like to be you, you don’t know what it’s like to be me, but what if we’re all the same in different kinds of ways, can you relate?’”
The release of “Relate” follows the announcement of for KING & COUNTRY’s first arena tour in two years with RELATE – The 2021 Fall Tour. The 24-date trek will see the duo return to arenas and amphitheaters to perform brand new music from their upcoming studio album, along with selections from the duo’s nine No.1 hits.
